I like that the POs are linked to invoices, and the reports provide a lot more information than I had been getting from our previous software. Construction Manager works very well with Sage 50. > > **Cons**: Construction Manager can only operate with 2 currencies at present so we have had to come up with work arounds for payments not in GBP or Euro. > > JNC made the implementation process very easy. Their support staff are experienced with Sage so were able to help in setting up new nominal codes for retention/CIS tax/etc as required. ----- ### "Moving from Desktop to Cloud" — 3.0/5 > **Nicky** | *2 March 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use the reports and job management features all the time as they provide detailed information on our individual contracts. Altering the design on our bespoke reports is a little easier in the cloud version. > > **Cons**: Having to clear filters before viewing a list of orders is frustrating and all orders show not just current. This did not happen with the desktop version. When posting invoices, the software will show posted but not a transaction number on the same page, on occasions, the invoice has not actually posted. An invoice can be posted against an order which has not been GRN'd which could cause an error. > > Construction Manager on the desktop worked well but was no longer being updated as the cloud version was preferred. Our migration from desktop to cloud was ok but as previously mentioned there are still issues which have not been solved creating an inefficiency to us costing us time. I feel the software has issues which should have been overcome by now and weren't present in the desktop version. I find the support team very easy to to get hold of and deal with, however if the fix isn't instantly available, we are sometimes left not knowing when a fix will be. ----- ### "Working Smarter" — 5.0/5 > **Neale** | *10 February 2023* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really love the transparency or the planner and seeing where we are up to on a weekly and monthly basis. The engineers who use it too, appreciate knowing what work they have on as it helps them schedule not only their workload but also any potential impact on the home life (ie. if they are going to be finished earlier or later) > > **Cons**: Some of the job cards could fit the template better. Sometimes the photos and descriptions are hard to decipher if it relates to the picture above or the picture below. > > I knew what I needed in terms of the software but didn't know what it would look like or how it would work. I wish I had this in my last job as it would have been ideal and definitely would have added value to what we did. In the end I was recommended Construction Manager from another company that we work with.It has helped with schedules, reporting, forecasting and workloads. Also, our clients really love it as well. It provides total transparency with regards to what we do and has added value to our service. Customers have commented on how professional we are now and I think a lot of that is down to how we use Construction Manager and the improved ways in which it allows us to operate. ----- ### "Great Piece of Software" — 4.0/5 > **Debbie** | *12 October 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its ease of use. I use this for job costing and the filter function enables me to filter between jobs, suppliers, customers, etc, so now when my boss asks me about job costing for a particular job, it is all there at the touch of a button (or two). Support from onboarding team and support team is excellent. > > **Cons**: I did have an issue with Subcontractor Returns at first but with the excellent support from the onboarding team I now have no problems. I do have an issue as I have Main PC at home and Remote access on laptop at work. When I am working remotely on laptop I have to not post anything to Sage otherwise I get errors and have to delete everything. I have to post on the main PC at home. Onboarding did look at this but this was the only work round. Bit of a pain. Being able to add a minus line into Sales Invoices would be an advantage. Sometimes we do interim invoices so it would be good to have a line for the full amount and then a line deducting the previous invoice or even things omitted from original quote would be ideal > > We have never been able to do job costing but now we can keep an eye on jobs throughout and find out profit, etc, at the end. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/262278/construction-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/262278/construction-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
